New excuses are needed Francisco.


The whole "I never tested positive" concept is interesting, in that it
implies that it's not cheating if you don't get caught. While some of
us view cheating as cheating, some folks, in fact some cultures, only
see cheating as dishonorable if you're not very good at it. For some,
it's an integral part of how they approach life in general and sport in
particular. In fact, for some it's honorable to be able to cheat
undetected.


How does this grab you : a person is guilty when the proper authority
proves a set of facts adequate to convince a tribunal that the accused has
committed a specified offense. And, conversely, the same person is
considered innocent if the proper authority fails in this proof. Apply it
to yourself, in your own life, for anything people may have wrongly
accused you of. Do you consider yourself innocent ? Or do you prefer
"angelic" ?

Can't I be both?
